Cheap Pub Party Fundraiser – Head to the Wild Rover right next to Faneuil Hall in Boston this Saturday, August 10th from 7 PM – 10 PM for a fundraiser supporting Project Bread; an organization fighting to end hunger. Tickets are $9 at the door but less if you purchase online in advance. If you plan on buying at the door be sure to bring exact change, and if you purchase tickets online you need to print it out. VIP tickets are also available and will guarantee a larger donation to Project Bread. Admission to the event also includes a free drink before 8:15 PM and free appetizers until 9:30 PM. Free movie passes will also be raffled off, don’t miss out on this fun night out!

Neponset Valley Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament – Like to golf? Then there’s no better way to spend Monday, August 12th than by taking part in the NVCC’s annual golf tournament at the Easton Country Club from 11 AM – 7 PM! Not only will it be a beautiful day for golf, there will also be prizes, tons of fun, and delicious food! A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Massachusetts Hospital School; an organization dedicated to providing habilitative, rehabilitative, recreational, educational and vocational services to children and young adults with multiple disabilities, assisting them to achieve their maximum level of independence in all aspects of life. The cost of this event is $135 per golfer or $540 per foursome.

New England Revolution Collect School Supplies for Cradles to Crayons – The New England Revolution have been conducting a series of charity donation drives including one on Saturday, August 17th before their 7 PM game against Chicago Fire. The match is at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro and tickets for a game range from $23 – $45 and are fun events for the whole family. If you haven’t experienced one of these games, you definitely need to check it out and you can make a difference in the life of a young child. School supplies will go to Cradles to Crayons; an organization that gives low-income and homeless children in Massachusetts and Philadelphia items they need to learn and thrive.

If you have to drive to work on a major road in Massachusetts, you’re more than likely going to get stuck in some traffic and wind up in the car for a little longer than you’d like. The good news? At least you can listen to some great morning shows and music on the radio! We’ve got you covered when it comes to sports, entertainment, and great music on your ride in to work.

For the Sports Fan: If you want up to the minute coverage of Boston sports teams, tune into the Dennis and Callahan morning show on WEEI 93.7 FM from 6 AM – 10 AM. They cover the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins and much more. This morning show has held the #1 spot among men ages 25-54 since the winter of 2006 and often hosts special guests from ESPN, managers of teams, and even Jerry Remy. Another great station for sports fans is 98.5 The Sports Hub.
